Chapter 96 Winter Tonic
Chapter 96: Winter Tonic (Second Update)
Chang Sheng ignored the media because he had more important things to do. m
Aimar suffered an ankle injury and is expected to miss a month of action.
In this way, I have to readjust to 442, but Villa's injury is not good.
In addition, Guardiola's physical fitness has declined rapidly. It seems that three midfielders are not enough now.
He has to add newcomers.
It was only at this time that Chang Sheng remembered that he had forgotten someone.
Zahovic in the b team...
Now, he thought, he should be able to sell this man.
So Chang Sheng called Zahovic's agent and told him that Zahovic was allowed to leave the team and they could go.
The agent notified Zahović about this, and Zahović was furious: "What does he think of me? If he wants me to go, I will go, if he doesn't want me to go, I can't go? Tell him, I'm not leaving yet!"
So the agent ran to reply Chang Sheng arrogantly: "My players refuse to be traded like commodities!"
Chang Sheng laughed when he heard this: "Hey, is it true that Zahovic is still in the b team and has feelings for him? Very good, Zahovic and Valencia still have three years of contract, I am happy to let him continue in the b team Team play until the contract expires!"
After finishing speaking, Chang Sheng didn't give the other party's manager a chance to speak, and hung up the phone directly.
Dare to show off in front of Lao Tzu?
Who do you think you are?
Originally, Changsheng planned to sell Zahović to increase the transfer fee income.
But now he would rather not earn the money than be threatened by the players.
Anyway, the transfer fee he earned for the club in the summer still has reputation, if he wants to use it to buy someone, Otti will not say anything.
As a substitute for the defensive midfielder, Chang Sheng has already been selected.
As a substitute, Chang Sheng's requirements are very simple-one specialty and many abilities.
There is one position where you are good, but you can also be competent in other positions.
As a person who traveled here from 2012, it is quite normal to have this kind of thinking. Because at that time, world football had developed into a point where players' positions and functions were blurred.
For any player, if he cannot play one more position, it will be difficult for him to survive in the team.
The substitute that Chang Sheng was interested in was Carlos Marchena (s_hena), who played for Benfica in Portugal.
The player who debuted in Seville can play both central defender and midfielder.
Of course, now he is more of a central defender, but Chang Sheng knows that he has the talent to play a defensive midfielder, and with a little training, he can play a guest midfielder.
This is exactly in line with Chang Sheng's requirements for a substitute.
In actual history, Marchena did move from Benfica to Valencia.
※ ※ ※
After hearing Chang Sheng's reply from his agent, Zahovic was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what kind of person the head coach he was dealing with was.
He will not be merciful at all when dealing with people...
He said that he would put himself in the b team and stay until the end of the contract, then he might really do it...
As soon as he wanted to stay in Team B until the end of the contract, and there were still three years left, he couldn't help shivering!
On such a day, he would rather retire early!
Three years later, when the contract expires, how many people in the world football world still remember me?
Zahovic realized that if he continued to stay in the b team, he would die without a burial.
Now he can only escape here as soon as possible.
Only now did he regret that he was too impulsive at the beginning...
The offer to move away should not be turned down.
But now let him go back and seek constant victory? That is absolutely impossible.
So he could only feel depressed and aggrieved.
※ ※ ※
Under Chang Sheng's behest, the Valencia club began to contact the Benfica club and asked if they were willing to sell Marchena.
When Marchena made his debut in Seville, he could still play the main force in the first team and performed well.
But after Sevilla was relegated, he chose to leave the team and went to the Portuguese giants Benfica.
But in Benfica he didn't get a chance and has always been a substitute.
Changsheng is obviously targeting Marchena because he knows that Marchena has succeeded in Valencia, and he also knows that Marchena wants to return to Spain, and Benfica will not embarrass a player who is not in their plan.
What's more, selling Marchena can save Marchena's salary while earning a transfer fee.
For Benfica, it is definitely a good deal.
Now the conflict between the two sides is mainly on the transfer fee.
Chang Sheng, who has been used to hard times in Getafe, has developed the habit of thrift. He naturally hopes to buy Marchena at the lowest price possible.
Of course, Benfica can't sell Marchena for the price of cabbage.
The response from Benfica was quick. Marchena can be sold, but the price needs to be discussed.
Chang Sheng automatically ignored the latter sentence.
He knew that Marchena's move from Benfica to Valencia was a free transfer, and Valencia didn't pay a penny.
Why would Benfica allow Marchena to transfer freely? On the one hand, Marchena is not important to Benfica, and on the other hand, Marchena's salary.
He moved from Sevilla to Benfica, and his agent helped him get a good salary.
If he can play the main force in Benfica, the salary is worth the money. But Marchena has no place at all in Benfica.
Benfica is definitely not willing to get a high salary without playing football.
Moreover, in the contract signed between Marchena's agent and Benfica, it also stipulated that the salary should be increased by 15% every year.
This made Benfica unbearable, and in the end they could only agree to terminate the contract with Marchena and let Marchena transfer freely.
Benfica is now coming to talk to me about the transfer fee, and I just need to avoid talking about it.
He believes that the impatient person must be Benfica, not himself.
So when Benfica said that Marchena could be sold, but they needed to talk about the transfer fee, Chang Sheng left Benfica in the cold.
He then sent Llorente to run to contact Marchena himself.
Marchena has been disheartened for a long time in Portugal, and now he heard that he has the opportunity to return to Spain, and Valencia, which is currently ranked first in the league, is naturally overjoyed. Is there any reason to disagree?
So Llorente asked Marchena to quarrel with the Benfica club and asked Benfica to terminate his contract so that he could transfer to Valencia freely.
Mace has nothing to say.
Anyway, he doesn't want to come to Portugal to play again, even if he offends Benfica, it doesn't matter.
※ ※ ※
The next thing is to command Llorente from Changsheng in the air, waiting for a good show.
He firmly believes that Benfica will eventually cave.
Because the twisted melon is not sweet, since Marchena himself does not want to stay any longer, there is only one thing Benfica has to do, and that is to release him quickly.
People themselves said that they don't want the next salary. Does Benfica insist on keeping the other party to pay him so much salary every year?
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Chang Sheng to wait for the news from Llorente from Portugal.
Benfica relented and agreed to terminate the contract with Marchena, so that Marchena returned to free agency.
The next day, the Valencia club's official website announced that they had signed a contract with Marchena, who arrived on a free transfer from Benfica.
In fact, when Marchena and Benfica were in trouble, in order to strengthen his determination, Valencia had already signed a contract with Marchena in private.
If this kind of thing is exposed, it must be against the spirit of FIFA, and Benfica will tell you everything.
But Marchena and Valencia have the same purpose and interests, so naturally they will not betray each other.
So in the end when Valencia signed Marchena, Benfica didn't even know that Valencia had contacted Marchena in private.
Signing Marchena, Chang Sheng told the media at the new player meeting that Marchena will be a useful addition to the team.
And Marchena is also very happy to move to Valencia.
"Valencia was a great team, of course, they are even greater now. I heard about the double in the league against Real Madrid... When I was at Benfica, my players were Talking about this team. I'm honored to be on this team..."
Marchena's words have won the favor of many Valencia media, and Chang Sheng is also very satisfied with it.
Because what Marchena said just now was very helpful for him to quickly integrate into the team.
If the first thing a new player says when he arrives is, "Who the fuck are you all?"
Then Chang Sheng should probably consider selling this new player...
※ ※ ※
In addition to buying a Marchena during the winter break, Chang Sheng also sold a player.
Originally Aimar's substitute Dennis Serban did not get enough playing opportunities in the team. Previously, he thought that Aimar would have his own chance if he was thrown into the sidelines. As a result, Chang Sheng would rather play 442 instead of giving him a chance to play, so he applied for a transfer to the club.
Chang Sheng doesn't pay much attention to such dispensable players. The transfer is the transfer, and I agree without saying anything.
In the end Romania's Rapid Bucharest bought Serban for $800,000.
Once in and out, Chang Sheng will no longer continue to make Taobao in the transfer market. In the winter transfer market, there was no good stuff. The good ones are very expensive, and it is not worth buying in the winter transfer market, unless it is absolutely necessary, for example, there are fewer players in the midfielder, so he bought a Marchena.
At the central defender position, although he likes Jose Passarella very much, Valencia has too many central defenders now.
Ayala and Carvalho are the two main players, and Pellegrino can also play in the rotation, followed by Navarro, and now Marchena.
There are already five central defenders in this position, and there is no need to buy Jose Passarella.
Although Chang Sheng liked Passarella very much, he didn't like it so much that he always carried it with him wherever he went.
What he should consider is the team as a whole, not personal preferences.
So Changsheng announced that Valencia's activities in the winter transfer market were over.
He closed the transfer door again, and then continued to prepare for the league, cup or something with peace of mind.
As for Zahovic, who is unwilling to bow to Chang Sheng in Team B, and hopes that Chang Sheng will notify him again that he can transfer...
He was forgotten by Chang Sheng again.
No way, Little Transparent is so easily forgotten... (To be continued.
